This prestigious designation means that Rockwall Chamber has been recognized by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for offering quality programs, practicing sound organizational procedures, effective communications and reliably contributing to positive change in the community.

“There’s nearly 7,000 Chambers in the United States, and there’s only 195 with this designation, and your chamber – the Rockwall Area Chamber – is one of those 195, putting us in the top three percent,” said President Dana Macalik.

In order to earn Accreditation, the Chamber had to demonstrate competency in governance, finance, human resources, government affairs, program development, technology, communications, facilities, and benchmarking.
